from #473268: D7UX: Put edit links on everything:

the "edit mode" toggle looks best in the shortcut bar, but that doesn't completely solve the issue: This feature needs to be available to people who aren't using the Toolbar as well. So we either need an alternate location for the link or a "non-edit-mode" way in which the edit-everywhere functionality is still available

Creating this issue so that the other one may be committed without solving this part

Not sure we can solve this in a general way. We can include some treatment for this in the core themes and document how others can reuse that in other toolbar modules and themes. But that should somehow be aware of whether some other code already displays a toggle, since having multiple toggles for the same thing on the page seems counter-productive. So some coordination possibility would be useful.

If the original issue is critical, this one should be too. (Unless we wind up not requiring "edit mode" as the only way to see the attached links, in which case this becomes less important.)

If the shortcut bar remains a menu (perhaps a big if), then we might be able to solve this in a similar way as #511258: Do not enable the management menu by default... which is to say, I don't know how for sure since that issue doesn't really have a solution :) But I think the basic idea would be that both the Management and Shortcut blocks would be enabled by default for sites not using the toolbar, but disabled by default for sites that are - and then either way you get links to those items somewhere on your screen.

We decided not to make an edit mode toggle - so this issue doesn't apply anymore. It should be possible to disable contextual links, but toggles are adding to much clutter.

Make an appropriate follow up, for other issues.
